A grid surface (80m spatial resolution) delineating a Soil Dryness Index (SDI) across the state of Tasmania is produced daily. Soil Dryness is estimated based on the calculation prescribed in Mount (1972) with input data provided from high resolution daily maximum temperature and accumulated rainfall grids. Refer to the following link for details of the latest map updates: https://sdi.tas-hires-weather.cloud.edu.au/shiny/ For operational real-time application, the mapping was fully automated in the R programming language and hosted on a cloud-based computing platform - via the high performance computing cluster provided by the Tasmanian Partnership of Advanced Computing (TPAC) of the University of Tasmania.
